the museum is not just a memorial. it is not static. we want students and visitors to experience the exhibits, not just to look at them. the subtitle of the museum is the costs and consequences of war. war is personal, war is complex. and despite the hopes of good people, war is always with us. the museum is the only one in the world that treats world war ii as a global event, something i find quite amazing. every country is represented in the museum by comprehensive collections of artifacts and documents representing the human story and the social, political, and military context. one of our founding trustees who wrote the mission statement wrote that the museum exhibits and mosaic of life in every area -- a mosaic of life in every area. there are 7000 artifacts on display and 50,000 pieces in the archives. the imperial war museum in london describes it as the most comprehensive display original world war ii artifacts anywhere. the bredth and intimacy of the collection is the home front, drama and despair, lends itself to an interdiscip
